Nuneaton and Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary

Such is the sheer scale of demand that Geoff’s phone has been ringing throughout the night.

He said: “I had a call at 1am from someone asking about an animal they had had all day.

"As much as we want to help these animals, we simply cannot cope with calls like that in the middle of the night."

The sanctuary has a small team of volunteers but, come night time, it is Geoff on his own: “I would ask people to think before they call at night, obviously if it is a real emergency I will be there, but, with it being so busy at the moment, I would ask if people could perhaps put off calling until the morning,” he added.
